About Tuberculosis (TB)
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, tuberculosis can be transmitted when a person with active TB coughs, sneezes, or speaks when others are nearby. Symptoms of active (contagious) TB disease may include a cough that lasts three weeks or longer, chest pain, or coughing up blood. Other symptoms may include weakness or fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite, chills, fever, or sweating at night. People with compromised immune systems or certain underlying health conditions may be at higher risk. Not everyone with TB becomes symptomatic; most people with TB have an inactive infection that is not contagious. TB can be treated and cured.
More information about tuberculosis is available at https://www.cdc.gov/tb/.
